Hi, each time logging on in Vista a balloon pops up with the message "you have files waiting to be burned to disc". Clicking on the balloon results in opening of window showing the empty g: drive with a message to place writable dvd. However the g: drive is a dvd reader (so writing is not possible). I think there are maybe some files in cache to write on the g: drive. However I can't find...

I know I had this problem once before and got it solved, but don't remember how, nor can I find an answer: My scroll lock is lit up and I can't turn it off. It is apparently affecting my full screen function. Please tell me how to unlock the scroll lock button. I have a laptop, so do not have number lock on my keyboard.

I am running Vista on a Dell D630. My docking station works fine if I boot up with the notebook docked. And my system works fine if I un-dock it. However, if I re-dock the system while the system is turned on (either in standby or awake), some of the time the re-dock will be unsuccessful. By "unsuccessful," I mean that nothing comes up on my monitor (CRT), and there is no way to "wake...

I click Start, then Windows Update - nothing, it just locks up as a blank screen. It's not listed as a Program on Control Panel I've tried to download it, but it won't download. I've searched other sites, nothing helps. I restored the PC to a about month previous (5/12/2010) - nothing. I have Comcast and they replaced McAfee with the Norton Suite and that is what I'm using, not Windows...

Vista Home Premium 64-bit Since I started using a registry cleaner program (Advanced SystemCare Professional), I've noticed that every once in a while the system will go through two startups. The first startup begins normally, but then after the Welcome screen there's a pause of several seconds. Then a window pops up in the upper left corner of my screen that says "setting up personalized...

My HDD is partitioned into C and D drives, with D being a small partitonn where I keep back-up copies of files I don't want to lose should I need to reinstall or have other problems on my C drive. Lately, when I open up my user profile or whatever it's called where the greenisf folders labeled Music, Videos, etc. are located, I find 2 of...

Hi all, Probably a waste of time asking this (as its probably so embedded into Vista that you can't touch it), but how the hell do you get rid of this speech recognition function ?? It's interferring with a few of my apps (all of which work fine on Vista) that rely on sole access to my mic. Of course, with Vista listening in awaiting any voice commands it can lay it's scripting on, I need...
